Functional solid substrates modified by self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) have potential applications in biosensors, chromatography, and biocompatible materials. The potential-induced phase transition of N-isobutyryl-L-cysteine (L-NIBC) SAMs on Au(111) surfaces was investigated by in-situ electrochemical scanning tunneling microscopy (EC-STM) in 0.1 mol·L^－1 H₂SO₄ solution. The NIBC SAMs with two distinct structures (α phase and β phase) can be prepared by immersing the Au(111) substrate in pure NIBC aqueous solution and NIBC solution controlled by phosphate buffer at pH 7, respectively. The as-prepared α phase and β phase of NIBC SAMs show various structural changes under the control of electrochemical potentials of the Au(111) in H₂SO₄ solution. The α phase NIBC SAMs exhibit structural changes from ordered to disordered structures with potential changes from 0.7 V (vs saturated calomel electrode, SCE) to 0.2 V. However, the β phase NIBC SAMs undergo structural changes from disordered structures (E < 0.3 V) to γ phase (0.4 V < E < 0.5 V) and finally to the β phase (0.5 V < E < 0.7 V). EC-STM images also indicate that the phase transition from the β phase NIBC SAMs to the α phase occurs at positive potential. Combined with density functional theory (DFT) calculations, the phase transition from the β phase to the α phase is explained by the potential-induced break of bonding interactions between ―COO^－ and the negatively charged gold surfaces.
